Ego and pride and thinking they know better tends to override their trading process causing missteps in the markets.The other Achilles Heal for men is anger and frustration causing knee-jerk reactions in the markets and breakage of the trading process.But when it comes to gathering wealth the stock market returns are completely objective and the results speak for themselves.Women tend to be better at following an investment process, they are happier to follow the recipe and put in the correct amount of herbs and spices whereas a man will tip in an entire bottle of chilli into the markets and wonder why he has blown his own head off.Over the years Gary has formed habits trading to keep his psyche fit for the market and not be distracted by male tendencies. Hear what they are in this interview and his final pieces of advice to all men and women investors: Becoming a successful active investor makes you a better person.To check out Gary’s new and life-changing book go to www.Blueprinttowealth.com Be the spark If you know someone who’s struggling in the markets, don’t keep Talking Trading to yourself.
